Manges Cabin, Log cabin in Teton County, US.

Manges Cabin is a two-story log structure with a steeply pitched roof that overhangs beyond the walls, built from logs and natural materials found nearby. The construction displays typical homestead architecture with thick wooden walls designed to withstand mountain weather.

James Manges, who arrived in Jackson Hole in 1910, built the cabin in 1911 on the west side of the Snake River near Taggart Creek, and it is described as the first two-story structure in the northern part of the valley. In 1926 Californian Chester Goss bought the property and renamed it the Elbo Ranch, adding a rodeo ground, racetrack, baseball field and store. The Snake River Land Company bought the ranch in 1929, the Park Service acquired it in 1956, and the cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.

The cabin reflects how early settlers built their homes in this area and how such structures later served tourism operations. It shows the shift from family homesteads to commercial vacation ventures that relied on existing buildings.

The cabin is best reached by walking north along the Taggart Lake Loop Trail from the Cottonwood Creek picnic area parking lot. The site is easily accessible on foot with well-marked paths through open terrain.

The cabin's wide eaves were built to keep winter snow off the log walls, and a root cellar was dug out beneath the structure. It is also called the Taggart Creek Barn because the Park Service was using it as a barn by 1973, after most other Elbo Ranch buildings had been removed.
